Colette Peters' unique approach to cake decorating and reputed artistic ability led me to the purchase of her book. She is truly amazing! Ms. Peters invites the reader into her creative mind and tells us where she gets her inspiration as well as how she translates her concepts into edible masterpieces. She clearly explains each technique she uses to obtain the various effects in her work. Would love to see her actually demonstrate in a video. The book assumes that the reader has a certain level of experience in cake decorating.
Very nice pictures and the instructions are easy to follow.

I read this book cover to cover in less than 2 hours! The pictures are amazing and the work is even better! I love Colette for being so innovative and creative! She is truly the benchmark that every pastry chef like myself strives to be! The instructions are clear enough that you dont have to be a professional to pull these cakes off. Often imitated, never duplicated, Colette strives to make this easy enough for EVERYONE. I loved this book so much I decided to purchase her other books and they were worth every penny! Kudos to you Colette Peters!
I am a baking and pastry arts major. the chef at our school had this book among all of his books and I decided to pick it up one day and read through it on break. it is an amazing book. Later on he told us that we have to pick a small cake to do as our final project so I am doing the bottom tier to the cake on the front cover. I fell in love with the tea kettle when I first saw it. I just bought the book for myself and I can't wait to dig right into it!
I've been admiring the designs in this book for months before I finally decided to get it. This book is very artisic, and includes many smaller cakes (not all ones that feed 200+ people). This would be a good coffee table book, if you are into food or design (even if you don't bake).
